I'm using an Enermax FMA II 460w and im planning to upgrade to 8800GTS. I just found out that eVGA's website stated that 8800 needs 26A 12V rails. 12V rails refer to this right?

I would like to know that my PSU is enough for these specs.

AMD 64 X2 3600+
Seagate 250GB
Asus M2N-E
8800GTS
3 LED 120mm fans

400w + 26A 12v rail.

EDIT: How much of +12V in considered low?

My PSU has 2 four-pin connectors labeled "for CPU only" and the mobo connector is 20-pin. Currently four pins are empty on the mobo. Should i connect the extra four-pin connector in? So far no reboot problems..

You mean you have 24-pin on mobo but your mobo-connector is 20-pin or ?

Yup. 24 pins on mobo but only 20-pin mobo connector. There's a space 4-pin that's labelled for CPU. so should i connect it?

Yes, you need to plug in the 4-pin... it design to be 20+4 pin is so that mobo with only 20-pin can use...when use on 24-pin mobo, then all 24-pin should be plug in... icon_rolleyes.gif
